Losing weight, one mile at a time
Hey, guys! So something pretty huge happened on Valentine's Day and I couldn't wait make it blogosphere official. ;) Yes, in case you weren't quite sure, this IS the obligatory "hey look at my left hand" picture we took to announce that... WE'RE ENGAGED!!! Todd asked me to marry him in … [Read more...]
I know, I suck. I've been MIA and I'll spare you all the "it's the holidays and things have been crazy" excuse. I'm in the process of writing two (very belated) recaps of the Wine and Dine "Half" Marathon and the Richmond Marathon, I swear, but in the meantime I wanted to drop in with some … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! At long last…here’s my recap of the New York City Marathon. Better late than never, right?! (Also, I apologize in advance for the length of this post...you know how I am). :) We woke up around 3am (ugh) on Sunday morning to start getting ready. I was going to drive to my parents’ … [Read more...]
Hey, all! First, thanks SO much on all the well wishes and congratulations re: our New York City Marathon adventure! Soooooo...I know I still haven't posted my full race recap, and that's in the works, I PROMISE (you know how I like to include every. last. detail, haha). But we just got back from … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! First, I wanted to thank you all for the support leading up to yesterday's New York City Marathon, and also for all the blog comments, tweets, etc. over the last several days -- sorry if I didn't get a chance to respond yet, but I will, promise! I'll be back later this week with a full … [Read more...]
So we're only a few days away from the New York City Marathon!!! I can't believe it's almost here. In some ways, it feels like I've been training FOREVER...and, in others, the last couple of months seemed to fly by. Our final weeks of training have come and gone, and I'm VERY MUCH enjoying my … [Read more...]
Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I thought I'd start the week off with a recap of the half marathon that Todd and I ran this weekend: the Halloween Half Marathon and Relay in Morristown, NJ! It was a brand new race hosted by Superhero Racing (though we have participated in other races hosted … [Read more...]
Yeah, so, as I've alluded here a few times over the past couple of weeks, Todd and I decided to do something a little nutty. (Okay, so it was mostly his idea, but I went along with it.) ;) We had a conversation about how marathon training really is months and months of preparation and hard … [Read more...]
Hey, guys! So since I somehow managed to get weeks and weeks behind in my New York City Marathon training recaps, I thought I'd go ahead and catch up now. Especially since we successfully completed the big kahuna -- our 20-mile run -- yesterday, and you all know what that means. IT'S TIME TO … [Read more...]
Hey, all! I promise I'll have New York City Marathon training updates up here soon (but just know that, for the most part, it's all good news for once). :) In the meantime, I did want to share our latest racing adventure: the Ocean City Half Marathon! Otherwise known as that time we ran 5 miles … [Read more...]
I'm Jen, thanks for checking out my blog! After a lifetime of struggling with my weight, I managed to lose 90 pounds in 2007... and, for the first time in my life, actually kept them off. In my efforts to lose "the final 40," I became a runner and martial artist (Taekwondo and Muay Thai). A NJ-based freelance journalist, when I'm not writing about the latest health and fitness trends, I'm actually living them! Visit my website at www.jenniferlnelson.com
